Aesthetics of the Middle East: Alena Akhmadullina Presents the SS 2020 Collection Lookbook
Russian brand Alena Akhmadullina presented the lookbook of the new spring-summer 2020 capsule collection. It was based on both traditional motifs of Russian fairy tales and the aesthetics of the Middle East. It is revealed through the key trend for this season - modest dress. It got its start in Muslim culture, and now it has begun to penetrate into different fashion styles and trends.
